The History of Earth in Exactly 2000 Words – Earth.com…

The history of Earth is obviously a ginormous topic. Really, almost everything humans know is part of the history of Earth. Here, we will cover the geologic and biologic history of Earth, dating all the way back to its creation... continue reading this article at earth.com #earth #evolution #solarsystem #massextinctions #supercontinents #geologicaltime #fossils

Dr. Emily Judd: "The impact of anthropogenic climate change is (and will continue to be) determined by the rate of change (meaning how quickly CO2 and temperature change) much more than the absolute temperatures, themselves."

AIUI biologists have repeatedly observed that when a species overpopulates it's environment one or more events result in a crash in the population numbers of that species.

I think that #ClimateChange, #MassExtinctions, and #GlobalPandemics show that humans have overpopulated the environment.

We've had a chance to avoid a population crash by implementing smart solutions.
But our culture has messed with our politics and our science and no adequate solutions may happen

Impact from the Deep:

Strangling heat and gases emanating from the earth and sea, not asteroids, most likely caused several ancient #massextinctions. Could the same killer-greenhouse conditions build once again?

Hi,
I have recently updated my UN radical reform petition, and I say a little more about #MassExtinctions, including, possibly, of human beings.

For you or anyone else interested, the petition is accessible via toot:

Hi Nonya,

Yes, extinction is a sad affair.

In case you are interested, below is a petition for radical reform of the UN /Security Council, with 21st century challenges, including #MassExtinctions, among the motivations:

Hi Susi,

I believe that you will be interested in my petition for radical reform of the UN /Security Council, where the #ClimateEmergency, #EcologicalEmergency and #MassExtinctions are amongst the themes.
